_DESCRIPTION = """\
The Yoruba GV NER dataset is a labeled dataset for named entity recognition in Yoruba. The texts were obtained from
Yoruba Global Voices News articles https://yo.globalvoices.org/ . We concentrate on
four types of named entities: persons [PER], locations [LOC], organizations [ORG], and dates & time [DATE].

The Yoruba GV NER data files contain 2 columns separated by a tab ('\t'). Each word has been put on a separate line and
there is an empty line after each sentences i.e the CoNLL format. The first item on each line is a word, the second
is the named entity tag. The named entity tags have the format I-TYPE which means that the word is inside a phrase
of type TYPE. For every multi-word expression like 'New York', the first word gets a tag B-TYPE and the subsequent words
have tags I-TYPE, a word with tag O is not part of a phrase. The dataset is in the BIO tagging scheme.

For more details, see https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.lrec-1.335/
